Chapter 862 Legendary Arcane [Elemental Body Forging - Dragon Body Forging]

Metal Dragon Island

Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon King?

Li Si was somewhat surprised to hear what Alvis said.

But soon he realized that this was not surprising.

Of course, Li Si was referring to the clues about the World Runes that the Platinum Dragon King Bahamut possessed.

It is important to understand that the creation of each world rune represents the completion of a corresponding world rule in the Gaia world.

Therefore, the period when the most world runes were born was in the early days of the Gaia world.

At that time, many extraordinary races had not yet appeared; the world was still ruled by the primordial gods, and later by the dragons and giants.

It's not surprising that the Platinum Dragon King knew about clues to the World Runes; in fact, he likely possessed some World Runes.

The clue that the Platinum Dragon King gave to Li Si pointed to the world rune [Forest].

This world rune is not very important to the metal dragons, and it has little to do with the power they wield.

But this is also a World Rune!

Moreover, although this World Rune [Forest] may not possess much power, it is quite important to Li Si, who is a follower of the World Tree.

Besides helping Li Si comprehend the rules of the world, it may also greatly help Li Si master the power of the World Tree.

After all, the world's rules—the forest, nature, and life—are closely connected.

Li Si was not one to mince words; upon seeing the World Rune, he decided he had to obtain it.

I was having a nice chat with Alvis, how did the Platinum Dragon God suddenly appear?

"I wonder why Your Excellency the Platinum Dragon God would do this?"

Li Si looked at Alvis and asked solemnly.

With the exception of a few, Li Si always maintained a respectful but distant attitude towards these gods high in the heavens.

Having experienced various things, he understood the dangers of the struggle between gods.

Originally, he thought that in the Gaia world, there were restrictions imposed on the gods by the main world, so he didn't need to be too afraid of those gods.

Having witnessed the gods' actions many times, Li Si knew very well that, given his current situation, the gods could still threaten his life if they paid a sufficient price.

So far, the reason why no deity has directly attacked Li Si is partly due to the influence of the Gaia main world era, which has made it more difficult for the deities to personally observe the situation in the main world.

On the other hand, there were gods who were hostile to Li Si, as well as gods who were willing to help him.

A delicate balance was reached between them, which greatly reduced the pressure on Li Si.

Otherwise, Li Si, as a follower of the World Tree, would be the most conspicuous target in the eyes of the evil god.

Knowing this, Li Si gradually became more discreet in his actions before he gained sufficient power.

He didn't want to confront the evil god directly.

In his previous life, he was very familiar with many things in the Gaia world, but until his rebirth, Li Si knew very little about the situation above the gods.

At most, one can only learn about the outcome of the battles between the gods and the fall of the gods.

Anything beyond that is beyond my understanding.

Therefore, Li Si still felt somewhat surprised by the goodwill shown by the Platinum Dragon King Bahamut.

After all, he had never had any contact with this deity before.

"I'm sorry, I don't know either."

Alvis shook his head and looked at Li Si, saying:

"My lord only instructed me to tell you the clues about the world runes; he didn't mention anything else."

"That's all? No other requirements?"

Li Si was even more surprised.

He thought the Platinum Dragon God had something he needed to do.
Is this the result?

Free gift?
There's no such thing as a free lunch, and Li Si didn't think he was worthy of such favor from the Dragon God.

The Platinum Dragon God is also a member of the Order faction, but he usually maintains a neutral stance.

Moreover, this is far too generous; it doesn't seem like a metal dragon at all.

Li Si, who had once owned a World Rune, was well aware of its rarity.

Other deities, such as the god of dawn and the god of war, also provided him with some assistance, but certainly not to this extent.

Li Si looked at Ialvis in front of him, remained silent for a moment, and then said:

"Thank you for your generous gift, Platinum Dragon King. Please let me know if you need anything in the future."

Regardless of the Platinum Dragon King's purpose, Li Si was not prepared to give up this World Rune.

Alvis had just given him the location of this world rune, which was in a remote sea area within the Gaia main world.

In the main world, with proper preparation, Li Si did not feel any danger that could keep him there.

"As I said before, the Metal Dragon Clan will always be your friends, Li Si."

Alvis nodded, and his figure suddenly became somewhat ethereal.

"Unfortunately, I don't have much time left after waking up this time."

"I'll take my leave now, Lord Alvis, since I've disturbed your rest."

"see you later."

Li Si nodded at Alvis, knowing it was time for him to leave.

With his abundant harvest and lingering doubts, Li Si left the underground cave.

As Alvis watched Li Si leave, his previously calm expression began to fade, and a hint of doubt appeared on his brow.

He turned to look at the dragon skeleton behind him and above his head, and said with some confusion:

"My lord, why do you do this?"

"This has never happened before, not even with the previous one."

After leaving Alvis's dragon's lair, Li Si did not rush to find the world rune "Forest" according to the location given by the Platinum Dragon King, but returned to his magic workshop.

For him, this matter was not urgent.

This world rune has been silent in that sea area for countless years, so a little more time won't make a difference.

Li Si's purpose in coming to Metal Dragon Island was only half accomplished. He planned to leave Metal Dragon Island before searching for the World Rune.

Li Si has now resolved the problem of the Dragon Soul Curse, and his learning of Dragon Language Magic is progressing smoothly.

After absorbing the Red Dragon's Curse, the learning progress of Dragon Language Magic will accelerate.

With the remaining time, Li Si planned to thoroughly study the origins of the dragon's powerful body.

Ideally, a body-strengthening technique or arcane art should be developed based on the physical characteristics of dragons.

As Li Si's strength increased, his advantages in physical strength and close combat became less obvious when facing powerful beings.

Having just arrived on Dragon Island, Li Si was hoping to improve his skills.

In fact, many dragons are not particularly skilled in close combat; their strength comes more from their extremely powerful physique.

However, this doesn't necessarily mean that dragons aren't strong in close combat. On the contrary, Li Si knew that the dragon race actually possessed a great deal of knowledge and skills related to close combat.

Because among the dragons, there are always some mavericks who excel at close combat.

Among the metallic dragons, this situation is most prevalent among the gold dragons.

Li Si stroked his chin and chose a suitable candidate.

On the beach,

Ludwig shook his slightly dizzy head and looked at Li Si in front of him with some doubt, saying:

"Li Si, you want me to help you learn close combat?"

"That sounds good, but I'm really not very good at it!"

In the past few days, Ludwig has felt increasingly drowsy and sleepy, and it is clear that a period of deep sleep is about to begin.

So he's been staying obediently in his dragon's lair lately, preparing to take a long nap.

Just then, Li Si dragged him out of the dragon's nest, and he listened to Li Si's demands with a blank stare.

"How about next time? I'm really a bit sleepy."

Ludwig felt the drowsiness in his mind growing stronger, and he could barely keep his eyes open.

Looking at Ludwig's appearance, Li Si understood Ludwig's situation.

However, he wasn't very familiar with the other golden dragons on Dragon Island!

After thinking for a moment, Li Si took out a gold ring and tossed it gently forward.

Wow~
A series of crisp sounds rang out in front of him.

Upon hearing this voice, Ludwig's sleepy eyes snapped open instantly.

Before him stood a small mountain of gold coins and gems, which drew his gaze like a magnet.

"Is that so?"

Standing beside the mountain of gold, Li Si picked up a gold coin, tossed it up and down, and said with a smile:

"I was originally planning to use these gold coins to hire you to help me!"

"It's a real shame, it seems we have no choice but to look for someone else now."

"no, I'm fine!"

Upon hearing Li Si's words, Ludwig immediately came to Li Si's side, knelt down on the mountain of gold, and said ingratiatingly:

"On this Dragon Island, who else can compare to me?"

"Leave it to me, don't worry!"

"I will definitely help you become the strongest warrior of the dragon race!"

"Not sleepy anymore?"

Although Li Si sensed that something was off about what Ludwig said, he still smiled and said it.

"No problem, full of energy!"

Ludwig patted his chest and said with certainty.

If you can make money, who needs to sleep!
I'll sleep first, but I'll wait until I've made this money!

"Okay, let's start now!"

Li Si touched the solid body of the golden dragon in front of him, smiled and nodded.

thump~
thump~
boom!
On the beach of Dragon Island, gently embraced by an eternal mist, an unprecedented fierce battle is unfolding.

Two golden dragons, their scales gleaming like sunlight, were locked in a fierce battle. Their figures appeared both mysterious and majestic amidst the interplay of morning light and ocean waves.

At the start of the battle, the two golden dragons did not rush to launch a full-scale attack. Instead, they slowly circled each other, like two seasoned warriors searching for each other's weaknesses in a silent contest.

Their eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. Suddenly, a golden dragon flapped its wings, its golden feathers drawing a dazzling trail in the sunlight, and pounced on its opponent like a golden lightning bolt.

The dragon's claws spread out, like five sharp daggers, aiming straight for the opponent's vitals.

The other golden dragon reacted swiftly, dodging the sudden attack with ease by shifting its body to the side. At the same time, it lashed out with its tail, which resembled a thick golden steel whip, lashing towards the opponent with a whistling sound.

The two clashed briefly in mid-air, their dragon claws and tails colliding with a deafening roar. The air seemed to be torn apart by the attack, producing a subtle yet clear sonic boom.

As the battle intensified, the two golden dragons were no longer content with probing from a distance.

They began to engage in close combat, pushing every part of their bodies to their limits.

The dragon claws sometimes strike with lightning speed, and sometimes lock the opponent tightly like iron pincers.

Dragon wings are not only a means of flight, but also a dual weapon of attack and defense. Sometimes they unfold like a huge golden shield to block the opponent's fierce attack, and sometimes they retract like a sharp blade to look for an opportunity to counterattack.

The dragon's tail is the most flexible and versatile part, sometimes like a whip, sometimes like a hammer. Every swing carries overwhelming power, forcing opponents to be careful.

Dragon teeth are their most lethal weapon. In the fierce battle, the two golden dragons will occasionally open their mouths to reveal their extremely sharp dragon teeth, trying to bite the other and deliver a fatal blow. Occasionally, they will also use their dragon breath to attack the other.

Each time he opened his mouth, it was accompanied by a deep roar, as if it were a call from ancient times, inspiring awe.

The battle spread from the beach to the sea, where the water boiled and giant waves rolled, as if the entire ocean was trembling for this duel.

The golden dragons would sometimes dive into the deep sea to engage in more complex battles using the resistance of the water, and at other times they would suddenly burst out of the water, covered in water droplets and splashing waves, to continue their aerial combat.

Their silhouettes darted between the sea and the sky, like two golden shooting stars streaking across the heavens, leaving behind dazzling trails.

When the battle reached its climax, the two golden dragons suddenly leaped up and soared into the sky, shifting the battlefield to a much wider expanse in the heavens.

There, they were no longer restricted by the terrain and could more freely display their unique skills.

The collision of muscles produces a dull yet powerful sound, with each clash accompanied by a sonic boom—the ultimate display of power and speed.

The air was thick with the stench of blood. Splattered blood and shattered dragon scales mingled together, like a painting in the sky, recording the fierceness and glory of this battle.

As time went by, the setting sun began to slowly sink, dyeing the horizon a brilliant orange-red.

The two golden dragons slowly descended and stood on the beach.

One of the golden dragons swayed and collapsed onto the beach, howling in exhaustion:

"I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore, let's end this?"

"That won't work."

The golden dragon opposite them was also in a terrible state, but it seemed to be in pretty good spirits.

Immediately, his body was enveloped in golden light, slowly shrinking and transforming into a human figure.

"You're already a monster, go torture other people!"

Ludwig shook his head and said resolutely.

You can never earn all the money in the world!

My life is more important!

Ignoring Li Si's response, he flew towards the dragon's nest without looking back.

Li Si looked around at the beach, where many giant dragons lay sprawled on the ground, all fallen during their sparring matches and unable to rise again.

Okay, that's about enough.

A brand new system notification appeared on the system panel in front of him.
